[Husker] Bitter cold Huskers games

[Steve Schmadeke]

The '76 OU game was my first game ever as well (13 years old and  
living in Imperial at the time), but I would have to say the '93 OU  
game was quite a bit colder.  Of course, for the '76 game I was  
sitting relatively low in the North End zone, where perhaps we were  
slightly more sheltered from the wind.
